How to Evaluate Inspiratory capacity of Lung?

Inspiratory capacity of Lung evaluator uses Inspiratory Capacity = Tidal Volume+Inspiratory Reserve Volume to evaluate the Inspiratory Capacity, The Inspiratory capacity of Lung formula is defined as the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled following a resting state. It is calculated from the sum of inspiratory reserve volume and tidal volume. Inspiratory Capacity is denoted by IC symbol.
